Spread the Word – Change is coming! To do this, we need to: • Communicate with existing clubs and determine what steps are necessary to retain clubs affected by the coronavirus. • Encourage membership to interact in service and meetings as local conditions allow. Retain members! • Help clubs plan a vigorous kickoff for the 2020-21 year. • Sustain our efforts through teamwork. We cannot do this alone. Confucius stated, “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” As Kiwanians, let us not make life complicated. Grow Kiwanis membership, service and leadership while having fun. Children are depending on us!” What do I plan to do in 2020-2021? Let me highlight some of my goals. The full list is on the district website. My theme is Spread the Word.
Objectives: Increase the number of Aktion Clubs in the Capital District by 10.
4. Leadership and education.
Goal: Develop educational and training opportunities to better prepare current and future leaders for success. We will be instituting monthly virtual and video training modules beginning in October. In conclusion, the Capital District is only as strong as its members. That is YOU. Think differently. Make that CHOICE to CHANGE the way we do business and deliver service. Think about what your community would look like without Kiwanis. Remember, KIDS NEED KIWANIS.
1. COMMUNICATION.
Goal: Advance the image of Kiwanis by raising awareness of education, wellness and security needs of children. Objectives: Increase club and division submission of articles to The Capital Kiwanian and local media. The August/September edition included information on a contest for clubs that submit 4 articles between September 2020 and June 2021.
2. MEMBERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT.
Goal: Build, retain and support a growing Kiwanis membership network. Objectives: • Build six new clubs in Capital District • With new and existing clubs, we need to develop and grow clubs with nontraditional meeting formats. • Continue development and utilization of the Regional Membership Coordinator concept. • Have a Membership Chairperson in every club/Division.
3. SERVICE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
Goal: Expand Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs (SLP) to positively impact more young people in our communities.
